The Adventure Continues
Even though I was on these roads the month prior, I had forgotten how fun they are. Perhaps it was because I was riding a little more "spirited" this time then I was when I was alone. The twists all the way up 28 and Shutt Rd to Palmer Rd were great, as were those on Palmer Rd and Quadville Rd.

Background
I started riding again last year after an absence from the street of 22 years. I felt that something was missing because back then I had a riding buddy who I used to talk bikes with all the time and ride with on a regular basis.

Last fall I joined a local forum and a thread came up where I described the Interceptor 500 that I used to ride back then. Some guy named Maverick asked if I happened to ride around with a guy on an RZ350 back then. I replied that I did and...

954rr vs Gsx-r 750

Posted 08-29-2011 at 09:12 AM by mahimahiman09

I am interested in purchasing one of these two. I ride all rear around. I am interested in taking it to the track soon and the years to come. I know the 750 is the "God" of track bikes but is there any reason to go for the Honda? Opinions and facts are welcomed.

2002, honda 954rr, 7,800 miles,
2005, Suxuki Gsx-r 750, 9,800 miles,

Both are 4,500

Road Trip - part 3

Posted 08-15-2011 at 07:40 PM by Ottawa919

I realized that if I left Seaford early in the morning then I would have to contend with rush hour around Wilmington and Philly. To avoid this I decided to leave Sunday evening and try to get up around Allentown and stay in a hotel. This would leave a more relaxing day of riding Monday.

All started well as the Sunday rain had stopped and the weather was fairly clear. I had a light shower near Port of Wilmington and a few small drizzles after. No big deal. I had my rain pants on and...

Road Trip - part 2

Posted 08-14-2011 at 06:06 AM by Ottawa919

The trip down was 10 hours and 870 km. I made four stops: border crossing and the three noted in the first post for probably 1 hr 15 minutes total, maybe.

I forgot about my gas up in Lebanon where I had to pay in advance. I took a completely random guess and said $15. Well, it took $15 exactly. I couldn't squeeze in another nickel!

The ride from Silver Springs to Seaford was brutal! It should have been a two hour ride, but it took 3.5 hours!

I got rained...
